Monstrosity Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 holy huge price tagYeah I know but I'm in a weird situation right now. Long story short: I've been seeing a sports med dr for a little while now. (For what started out as Tendonitice and has formed into Tendonothopy) However ya spell that. Anyways I've been going to therapy to repair it and the doc isint happy with the results and recomended to either stop ridding or change the angle at which I ride. Rather not sell the bike or stop ridding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Doh! I was about to say I'd have a set to sell you for less than that price but the 636 uses 50mm OD forks and the Ape uses 53mm OD forks. They were on the Aprilia when I bought it. These things pretty much have unlimited adjustability and they are very nice, sturdy pieces of hardware. I never knew how much those damn things were! They've been sitting in a box since I switched back to stock clip-ons. They were very good at staying in place too, never had an issue with them moving or anything. My only problem was that they were untested on an Aprilia and the previous owner just "made them work" so they came very close to touching the tank/upper fairing. But that's my model specific issue only. If you want to fit the bill, they are definitely a quality piece.

I'm sure someone would show interest. I'll wait for my taxes before I order a set unless I find something cheap enough now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstrosity Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I guess its that or a coin toss on an F4I or busa. I'll have to think hard about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Really nice pieces. God, we get so raped on everything we buy. Only thing not to forget, you might have to lengthen every line, wire and hose.I wish I could put a set on my RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I guess its that or a coin toss on an F4I or busa. I'll have to think hard about this one.Sell it and buy one of these two. They're like a sporty couch without being ghey looking like those 'busas. But seriously, those convertibars are very nice if you do end up trying them. I was thinking about it and the other problem I had was the lack of length on the throttle, brake, clutch wires. Lifting the clip-ons that high definitely stretched the lines out when at full-lock.

Lusted for it ever since highschool when it first came out. I did have a Triumph S3 for a bit and loved the ridding position of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
